Don’t expect anything from IWC but Portuguese. And the reason is the 75th anniversary of the brand’s success – without any chance left for the Ingenieur or any other collection to have a glimpse of attention!

It’s again a world record. It’s again, a ultra-thin caliber. And it’s again, signed Piaget. But this time, it’s a complicated watch : a chronograph.The announcement could have been missed if it was not Piaget : it’s not again a ultra-thin movement, it’s the first chronograph in Piaget’s collection, ever, amongts the 37 calibers developed by the manufacture, including 25 ultra-thin – and numerous world records.

Panerai is often compared with Rolex. The two brands have many similarities, with rather simple products, faithful to their original models, a design that never changes, very clear collections and a very powerful club of passionate fans around the world – in Panerai’s case called the Paneristis.

The first major horological event of the year kicks off Monday January 19 at Palexpo in Geneva. The Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) is celebrating its quarter century this year.

Yesterday the Swiss National Bank removed the minimum exchange rate on the Swiss Franc. This could see the Swiss Franc rise by 30% or more against the Euro and the Dollar, making the cost of exports ruinously uncompetitive.
